Abstract
The present invention discloses methods and systems for a VPN gateway to establish virtual private network (VPN) connections with at least one other VPN gateways. The VPN gateway determines that it is classified into a first VPN gateway group by a VPN management server, and the VPN gateway determines which other VPN gateways belong to the same first VPN gateway group. The VPN gateway then determines and sends information about the number of remaining possible VPN connections (RPVPNC) to the VPN management server, such that the VPN management server is able to send a first configuration to the first VPN gateway. The first VPN gateway is then configured according to the first configuration, and the first VPN gateway establishes VPN connections with other VPN gateways based on VPN connection topology, configuration, and number of RPVPNC of the first VPN gateway and other VPN gateways.
